Today I wrote a blogger scraper for my new NodeJS website: http://mikekunze.info
This script connects to my blog's RSS JSON feed and sends its data to a mongolab hosted mongoDB instance.
Pretty nifty. Now I have content for my website, and still can use blogger's API to create that content.
One of the bonuses with this script is how it will not duplicate entries. This feature checks title names. If we want to be more dynamic we would create hashes on the entry content... maybe some day.

Massive Bang.js updates
Hello internet.
I have been spending quite a bit of time refactoring the server side code for bang.js lately. I started a total conversion of it to coffeescript. Its quite amazing how easy it is to translate into coffeescript which natively supports classical inheritance.
bang.coffee is our main file, which is executed by the iced coffee-script compiler
abstractServer.coffee and server.coffee contain the coffee ingredients to boot up the server.
You'll also notice I've made significant improvements on the layout of the project. Now there are two main folders: client and server.
